Do you struggle with confusion? Not knowing which way to go? Here's why: We turn to means (help of creation, our own mind) before turning to God.

When we can’t marry the person we had in mind, our inability to look beyond may even blind sight us from someone who is in fact better for us. When we don’t get hired, or we lose something dear to us, it’s hard to take a step back and notice the bigger picture. Often Allah takes things away from us, only to replace them with something greater.

The poison leaves bit by bit, not all at once. Be patient. You are healing.

Beauty attracts beauty. If you want to know what you are, look at what you are drawn to.

When you're faced with a choice, remember this: Everything else will pass away. Your family. Your friends. Your material possessions. Your beauty. Your youth. Your life. And there is only one thing that remains. Ask yourself: Which are you chasing?

Arrogance is actually just ignorance. Ignorance of what you really are in relation to the world-but most of all in relation to God.

Sometimes the gifts of God aren't wrapped as we expect.
